PLEASE POST YOUR GOOD DOCTOR HERE :) :) :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw Dr Sharp. I am impressed with him. I am on a lot of supplements again. Now he thinks I may have fibro on top of CFS. He says I fit the criteria. He did a lot of labs, I will see him in September to go over the labs and see what we will do next. I have a lot of confidence in dr sharp. Not in love with the pay up front idea, but I have run out of options. They do file your insurance paperwork for labs... He treats FM and CFS

I got his name from the old 'good doctor's' list.
Took me 2 months to get an appointment.
This is the BEST rheumatologist I have ever seen. I cried when I got home because he really know FM and all it's treatments. I have alot of OA also and he immediately took xrays and blood work. Has been giving me cortisone injections and aspirated fluid from my hip and shoulder. Has put me on new meds.
And best news yet - I got a letter from SSA today saying that they have finally approved me - and I'm sure this is only since they got my latest reports from this doctor.

I am seeing a good doctor right now but he wants me to have injections that I really don't want to have. I have told him that I don't like the odds of the knee injections that are for lubraction. The odds are 30/70 30 % of the time they work and 70% of the time they don't. It is not worth it to me to have needles in my knee's.

I wish I could just find a good pain doctor that would just treat me for the pain and not try to cure me . I have other conditions besides fibro. I have end stage osteo arthritis both knee's, Degenrative disc disease, spinal stenosis, buldging discs, arthritis in my left wrist from shattering it, pain in my tail bone.

ON my first visit he asked me "So when are you going to get your knee's replaced ?" I said "Not any time soon".
It is not that I don't want to be cured but most of the pain I have is long term and not fixalbe. I would like to have some one who belived in treating my pain and not trying to do things that don't work well. I am one of those people who have had bad reactions to meds, steriods alot, Utram , Toradol,Cymbalta and other antidepressants.

I really don't want to keep trying meds that seem to only make me feel worse and make me sick all the time. I would just like to have a good day where my pain is reduced and when I see the doctor he is more concerned about how I react to the pain meds he gives me. Is that too much to ask?

I had a good pain doctor but he had some legal problems and I don't know if he is still in practice.

She is friendly and seems concerned but she is too busy. One year she skipped my labs and I have a family history of cancer and diabetes. I am afraid she is going to overlook something because she has too many patients.

I agree she's very busy but she's been good for me for CFS.

I also see Northern California Arthritis: DR. Dixit Rajiv K MD

He's a rheumy that I see for my LTD for FMS.

I want to also respond to what someone else wrote. No, I did not get CFS/ME and secondary FMS from holding in resentment or anger etc...I was in the prime of my life and having a great time in college and I wasn't under pressure or anything. Life was good, I was in great shape, everything was working out well for me. I was a happy camper.
